Losing a cherished dog to a speeding car is a pain that hits the soul. One family, who had experienced this agony, decided to take action. They put up a striking sign on their lawn to caution fast drivers: “We buried our dog last week because you won’t slow down. If you hit one of my kids, your family may be burying you.”
This sign went viral on platforms like Reddit and Facebook, drawing strong support from the community. Many agreed that speeding in neighborhoods is a dangerous problem, jeopardizing kids and pets. However, some believed the dog owner should have kept better control over their pet.
Sadly, this isn’t an isolated incident. Another resident, Kevin Jackman, also erected a similar sign in frustration with speeding drivers in his area. His sign conveyed a powerful message: “Last week, my dog was tragically struck because you chose not to slow down. If you hit a child, your family will be left burying you.”
These signs serve as poignant reminders to prioritize safety and slow down, particularly in residential areas where children and pets are at play.
